Scott “Wino” Weinrich is a legend of doom: like all true rock’n’rollers, his life and forty-year-long career have been colorful and tangled, riddled with hardship, setbacks, and successes. It all started with Warhorse in 1976, soon renamed The Obsessed, and after a decades-long hiatus, Wino reformed the band in the mid-2010s, coming back with a new album, Sacred, in 2017. A return to the roots of sorts, weathered and brimming with inexhaustible passion.
It’s about this passion that we talked about when I got the chance to chat with Weinrich for the release of the album. Generous and honest, he went over the return of The Obsessed, the history of his different projects, and everything that is sacred to him.
